IMPROVEMENT IN TOY WATCHES.

Specilication forming part of Letters Patent No. 162,020, dated April13, 1875; application filed March 3, 1875.

To all whom yit mcy'concorn:

Beit known that I, PAUL BONFILS, of North Attleborough, ot' the count5Tof Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and uset'ulImprovement in Watches, and do hereby declare the same to be fullydescribed in the following specication, and represented in theaccompanying drawings, of which- Figure l is a front view. Iiigs. 2 and3, 4L and 5 are transverse sections of a watchworks-carrying disk, madeand pivoted and provided with a stem in accordance with my invention.

My improvement is specially designed for the manufacture of cheap or toywatches for children. Instead of supporting the watchworks in a costlyframe, as usual' in most watches, and having the stem fixed to the caseitself, I support the wheel-work, the barrel, and the escapelnent by achambered disk, A, cast in one piece, in a mold upon a series ot' wheelbearings or pivots, a b c d of, and a stem, g, arranged as shown. Theannular chambers L i 7c t m n o, as represented in said drawings, are toreceive the works. To hold the wheels of the works in place on their pivots or 1n their bearings I make use of bars or springs p q if, to extendacross them, and to be bent down near one end, or both ends ot each, asmay bedesirable, and inserted in the disk, all being as represented inthe drawings. In com pleting the watch, there is to be a dial and handsover the said works-carrier, and a case to envelop the whole.

I claiml. As an improvement in the manufacture of toy watches, thecombination of the pivots or bearings for the works with a chamberedcariyingdisk, A, cast or founded in one piece, in a mold, on said pivotsor bearings, as described.

2. The stem g combined with a works-carrying disk, A, cast in a mold onsuch stem, and on the pivots and bearings, as set forth.

3. The combination ot' the bars or springs p g1, as described, withworks-carrying disk A, cast in one piece, and provided with wheel pivotsand b arings, arranged therein as specilied.

PAUL BON FILS.
